American Psychological Associa-tion classified ads on APA’s OnlineCareer CenterPlacement of an advertisementimplies that:

• Jobs exist as described.

• There is/are no prescribed candidate(s).

• Employer will acknowledge receipt of
applicant’s material.

• It is recommended that advertisers
inform an applicant when (s)he is
eliminated from consideration or when
the position is filled.

Policy concerning advertisements
appearing in APA publications:

The publication of any advertisement by the
American Psychological Association (APA)
is not an endorsement of the advertiser or of
the products or services advertised. APA is
not responsible for any claims made in an
advertisement. Advertisers may not, without
prior consent, incorporate in a subsequent
advertisement or promotional piece the fact
that a product or service has been advertised
in an APA publication. The Monitor on Psychology is received mid-month by readers.
APA recommends that response deadlines
in advertisements be no earlier than the
15th of the month following the month of
publication.

Line-for-line and display classified advertisements published in the Monitor on
Psychology also appear on PsycCareers.
This service is provided at no additional
cost to the reader or the advertiser. The
advertisements are easily located. They
are arranged by category—e.g., by the
state in which the position is available,
specialty area, and also under other
topical headings such as conferences and
workshops.

Department of Defense Advertisements
for positions requiring military service
must include the following disclaimer:
Eligibility for military service requires
certain physical abilities and attributes
including age, height, weight, and physical ability requirements.

APA policy on the use of the
title “psychologist” is contained in the

GeneralGuidelines for Providers of
Psychological Services, which defines
the term “Professional Psychologist” as
follows: “Psychologists have a doctoral
degree in psychology from an organized,
sequential program in a regionally
accredited university or professional
school.” APA is not responsible for the
specific title or wording of any particular
career opportunities, but it is general
pattern to refer to master’s-level positions
as counselors, specialists, clinicians, and
so forth (rather than as “psychologists”).

In addition, it is general practice to refer
to APA-accredited programs as “
APA-accredited” rather than “APA-approved.”
The position as described must be in conformity with the statute regulating the use
of the title psychologist and the practice
of psychology in the state in which the
job is available.

Advertisements should be writtento convey the following information:Responding to an advertisementimplies that:

• Training experience and interests are
accurately represented by letter of
application and supporting material and
are consonant with those specified in
the advertisement.

• Applicant should notify prospective
employer if (s)he no longer wishes to
be considered for the position.

Equal Employment Opportunity

The American Psychological Association
endorses equal employment opportunity
practices and accepts only ads that are not
discriminatory on the basis of race, color,
gender identity and expression, religion,
age, national origin, veteran status, sexual
orientation, or physical disability. In keeping
with this policy, the use of “recent Ph.D.” in
APA advertising is not allowed on the basis
that it is potentially age-discriminatory (see
U.S. Department of Labor prohibition on
use of “recent graduate”). The term “
begin-ning-level salary” may be used. Positions
may also be defined in terms of teaching
load, specified number of years away from
a tenure decision, or requirements of certain
skills. We reserve the right to edit all copy
and to refuse ads that are not in consonance
with the principles of Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act of 1967, the Veterans’
Reemployment Rights Act Handicap Bias,
the Vietnam Era Veterans’ Readjustment
Assistance Act of 1974, and the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990. The Equal
Employment Opportunity Act, in addition to
Public Law 100-238, makes specific legally
permissible exceptions to discrimination
in hiring by religious institutions, Indian
tribes, and federal correctional facilities.

For this reason, certain position opening
advertisements will include job opening
restrictions on the basis of religious, racial,
and age factors.

The acceptability of an ad for publica-tion in APA publications is based uponlegal, social, professional, and ethicalconsiderations. All advertising must be inkeeping with the generally scholarly andprofessional nature of the publication. Inaddition, the association reserves the rightto refuse advertising submitted for thepurpose of airing any side of controver-sial, social, or professional issues. Thegeneral policy is stated as follows:“The publications of the APA arepublished for and on behalf of themembership to advance psychologyas a science, as a profession, and as ameans of promoting human welfare. TheAssociation, therefore, reserves the rightto unilaterally REJECT, OMIT, OR CAN-CEL advertising which it deems to be notin the best interest of these objectives, orwhich by its tone, content, or appearanceis not in keeping with the essentially sci-entific, scholarly, and professional natureof its publications. Conditions, printed orotherwise, which conflict with this policywill not be binding on the publisher.”
